Quote from: Liz98I was astonished to see the sports section cover story in the Post. Even more astonished to find John Feinstein's article inside. I had to share ... attached is an image of today's sports section.

maybe someone lost a bet inside the sports dept. **]
seriously - Maryland game was a late game... and compared to Thursday, the Cornell game was the top hoops story of the day. John Feinstein also had Donahue on during his radio show earlier this week.

Not surprised at all with Feinstein. He never misses an opportunity for a story about the Ivy or Patriot Leagues. In addition to his books, I think he was also the one to first give CU a vote in the national polls.

The Page 1 love also extends to such respected publications as the NY Post today:

And Newsday, despite the trite headline:

Ok, let's go Red! My Lobos didn't even show up to the game today. It was over in the first 10 minutes. I thought they'd come to play. Very disappointing.

I seem to recall you were sure the Red season was over with the Penn loss. Back on the bandwagon?

Well, I was having a tough week and I overreacted. I'm a New York fan. Like Chicago fans, we're self loathing and negative all the time, even when our teams are doing well. I didn't believe in them even before the Temple game but I've got to give them credit. I didn't expect this out of them.

Whoa whoa whoa. I think you meant Boston, not NY (unless of course you're a Mets fan). NYY fans are not self-loathing/negative despite what Francesa says or does.

More a Mets/Jets thing than a Yankees/Giants one.

Did anyone watch the Kentucky - Wake game? Jesus. I'm not sure I even want to beat Wisconsin anymore.*

* This is a lie. I very much want to beat Wisconsin.

My housemate is a Wisconsin Alum. He refers to '06 as "a very good hockey year". We have a 6-pack bet on tomorrow's outcome. So much riding on this game! ::drunk::

The opportunity to play Kentucky would be amazing since it would be basically a home game at the Carrier Dome. No one thought we could challenge Kansas, anything can happen

Cant wait for tomorrows game

Interesting sidelight to the Northern Iowa upset of Kansas: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20100320/SPORTS05/100320010/1016/Keeler-Northern-Iowa-looked-No.-1-in-the-eye-and-didn-t-back-down

"We kind of remembered what Cornell did to them," Kerwin Dunham, the Panther guard from Bondurant added, referring to a 71-66 Jayhawks win back in Lawrence on January 6. "They weren't able to pull it out, but we got that film and coach (Ben Jacobson) had realized how physical with Kansas Cornell was. And Cornell is a very good team and we kind of implemented that game plan."

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, I have a few hundred unread messages - do we have any idea with any measure of certainty whether Cornell vs. Wisconsin will be on CBS or CBS-HD rather than having to find it on DirecTV? I am otherwise committed until this game will be over, and I'm DVRing. :-/

WCBS in NYC has the Cornell game listed on their website.

They will probably cut in and out since there are three other games going on: Georgia Tech v. Ohio State at 2:20 PM EDT, Michigan State v. Maryland at 2:30 PM, and Missouri v. West Virginia at 2:40 PM.
